Moses At “The Fork In The Road” • Heb 11:24-26 – By faith Moses, when he became of age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, 25 choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin, 26 esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt; for he looked to the reward.
Our “Fork In The Road” • Our duties to the Lord & His church • OR personal-interests, friends, family, pleasures, & worldly success • Suffering & affliction for obeying God • OR ease, pleasure & popularity (Matt 12:30)
“The Fork In The Road” • Right Choices Begin New Duties • “By faith” Moses said “No!” to sin & “Yes!” to his new duties • When we say “No!” to sin, we must say “Yes!” actively serving Christ (Luke 11:24-26; Matt 10:33; Rom 6:11-13, 19)
“The Fork In The Road” • Right Choices Are Costly • Moses gave up everything & showed what it means to be a disciple of Christ (Lk 14:26-27, 33)
“The Fork In The Road” • Heb 11:26 AMP – He considered the[reproach of Christ] contempt & abuse & shame [borne for] the Christ(the Messiah Who was to come) to be greater wealth than all the treasures of Egypt, for he looked forward & away to the reward (recompense).
“The Fork In The Road” • Right Choices Are Costly • Moses made his choice as we must make our choice: FOR JESUS CHRIST! (Heb 11:26)
“The Fork In The Road” • Right Choices Have The Best Outcome • Moses became a Deliverer, a Lawgiver, & a Counselor to millions (Heb 11:38-40) • Moses is now, again, with Christ (Matt 17:1-3) • Only those who stand with Christ today, will live with Him in the hereafter!
